Everything up to just after all the Zend goodness is without a problem at all... Then, just as it is about to move on, I get all these errors. When I check the filesystem, the directory is GONE (dir installing from is /root/ispconfig/install_ispconfig). The deletion would be compared to rm -rf /root/ispconfig. My install steps may be noteworthy:

Is it deleting itself by design without telling anyone? It looks like this is happening due to a dependency failure (script wants to install php5, I already have php4.4 installed). Since I cannot uninstall php4, I'm going to upgrade to php5-common 5.1.2-1+b1 and we'll see what difference that makes.

The problem is that you're trying to install from the directory /root/ispconfig/install_ispconfig. This doesn't work as the installer tries to create the directory /root/ispconfig which is already existing. Delete /root/ispconfig and install it from the /tmp directory.

Yes, becasue you cannot install twice from the same directory.

No, it doesn't matter which PHP you have installed (or if PHP is installed at all). The PHP coming with ISPConfig is for ISPConfig's own use only and totally independent of your installed PHP version.
